    the Ross steering box is a worm and sector arrangement. This is the sector shaft. It has integral teeth that mesh with the worm gear. The pitman arm also attaches to the sector shaft.

    Now that is really worn out. That steering had to be totally un-manageable.

    Up date on Ross box;
    all together, fairly easy assembly, turns well but
    does have a "tight spot" when rotating the shaft. Turns out there is a slite bend in the worm shaft that I think is causing this, will possibly cause some premature wear on the pivots but it will have to do.
